Selected by Patricia Smith as winner of the 2018 A. Poulin, Jr.
Poetry Prize, Matt Morton's debut poetry collection Improvisation
Without Accompaniment embraces uncertainty with a spirit of joyous
playfulness. These lyric poems follow the rhythms of life for a
young man growing up in a small Texas town. As the speaker wrestles
with ruptures within the nuclear family and the loss of his
religious beliefs, he journeys toward a deeper self-awareness and
discovers a fuller palette of experiences. Over the course of this
collection, the changing seasons of small-town Texas life give way
to surprise encounters in distant cities. The speaker's awareness
of mortality grows even as he improvises an affirming response to
life's toughest questions. Poignant, searching, and earnestly
philosophical, Improvisation Without Accompaniment reaches for
meaning within life's joys and griefs.
